Survol de comment pense un investisseur pour les entrepreneurs qui songent chercher du capital de risque. Présentation faite aux finalistes du concours Les Anges Financiers 2010 de la Jeune Chambre de Commerce de Montréal.
Global climate change is causing the climate to get warmer overall. Weather patterns are changing, leading to stronger hurricanes, more wildfires, droughts and floods. The global climate is changing due to human activities like burning fossil fuels for cars and electricity, which release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor that cause the greenhouse effect and global warming. This disrupts ecosystems and impacts both plants and animals as well as human events.
When the author was young, they wanted to be a footballer like their favorite player Kluivert because they enjoyed playing soccer daily. At age 8, they started playing basketball with friends instead. When 10, the author considered being an architect but didn't think they were good enough at drawing. Now, the author wants to be a sports journalist to watch matches, especially soccer, and likes journalists Manolo Lama and Maldini. They hope to work for the TV channel Digital+ reporting on sports but would also like radio or newspaper jobs.
When the author was young, they wanted to be a footballer like their favorite player Kluivert because they enjoyed playing soccer daily. At age 8, they started playing basketball with friends and changed interests. By age 10, the author considered becoming an architect but didn't think they were good at drawing. Now, the author wants to be a sports journalist to watch matches and enjoys all sports, especially football and their current favorite player is Samir Nasri. They admire journalists Manolo Lama and Maldini and would like to work for a TV channel or newspaper covering sports.
The document provides tips for improving presentation skills such as telling stories, using humor and analogies, and including references, quotes, pictures and visuals. It also emphasizes providing fast feedback to the audience on what they liked and disliked about the presentation. The document suggests representing product development speed using an animal metaphor and focusing the presentation on the one key thing the audience should take away and how their thinking should change. It acknowledges not knowing everything slowing the process down and recommends surveying the audience on specific things that would speed up the process and outlining the benefits of taking action.

The document discusses principles for agile teams, including embracing differences, maintaining technical health by avoiding debt, trusting self-organized teams over mandatory processes, focusing on goals and priorities, developing skills vertically, and maintaining transparency. It also emphasizes focusing on goals rather than obstacles.
The document outlines a system decomposition and value tracking approach for an epic involving credit card transactions. It shows the breakdown of an epic into features, stories, and minimal marketable features (MMFs) assigned to specific releases. The original structure resulted in stories having multiple parents, but the solution involved asking what could be released at the minimal level first before decomposing and assigning stories to ensure each only has a single parent.
Chad Holdorf conducted an agile survey as a Scrum Master and Program Manager at John Deere. The survey asked respondents to rate clarity of goals, collaboration within teams, business value delivered, time wasted, quality of work, and overall feelings about using Scrum on a team. The majority of respondents positively rated collaboration within their teams, the business value of work delivered in 30 days, and said their team would continue using Scrum.
The document discusses climate change versus weather, how climate change is causing changes in weather patterns like stronger hurricanes and more wildfires. It explains that the global climate is getting warmer due to the greenhouse effect and provides examples like less snow and more extreme weather events. It discusses how both carbon and water vapor contribute to climate change as greenhouse gases. Changing climate impacts various species and abiotic factors like disrupting life cycles, melting polar ice, and affecting events like the Winter Olympics through lack of snow. Global cooling is defined as when the climate cools down, as the Earth heads towards another ice age.

Here is a presentation I presented to management describing how waterfall transitions into scrum. Couldn’t have been done without slideshare.com slides. This is me giving back.
This document discusses using agile practices in large enterprises to help address increasing global food demands. It notes that the global population is expected to grow to 9 billion by 2050 with 30% more mouths to feed, requiring doubling food output. John Deere has seen success adopting agile practices across its organization, including reduced issue resolution times, lower warranty expenses, faster time to production, and improved employee engagement. It emphasizes the importance of enterprise alignment, leadership support, and a culture of innovation for successful agile transformation in large companies.
This document discusses adopting agile practices at a large company like John Deere. It describes scaling agile with over 9,000 employees across multiple product lines managed by a product management team. Epics, features, stories and tasks are planned at both the portfolio and release level. Training was provided to over 100 employees in scrum and over 800 in release planning. Metrics showed improvements in issues resolution time, warranty expenses, time to production, being first to market, and employee engagement after adopting scaled agile frameworks. Challenges addressed included commitments, quality, integration, technical debt, practices and frequent small releases.
The document discusses the process used by an Agile team at John Deere's Intelligent Solutions Group to select an Agile management tool. The team used the Analytical Hierarchy Process to identify criteria, alternatives, weight criteria based on pairwise comparisons, score alternatives, and recommend Rally as the strongest candidate tool based on its strengths in planning, tracking, story definition, development integration, quality assurance and infrastructure operations.
This document provides an overview of scaled agile portfolio management terminology and delivery model. It describes key terms like Potentially Shippable Increment (PSI), Epic, Feature, Enabler, Story, and Roadmap. It outlines the scaled agile delivery model which includes a portfolio backlog, epic roadmaps, program roadmaps, and team backlogs to plan and manage work at the portfolio, program, and team levels. It also includes a business kanban system to prioritize and allocate investment across the portfolio.
The document discusses component teams and feature teams in software development. Component teams are organized by technical component or area of the system, while feature teams are cross-functional teams that have all the skills needed to deliver complete features or functions. The document also discusses scaling agile approaches to the portfolio, program, and team levels and using pods of scrum teams. It advocates for organizing teams as feature teams rather than component teams to allow them to deliver finished features.
